How CAD Drafting Outsourcing Services Work

What outsourced drafting covers

CAD drafting outsourcing services take conceptual sketches, redlines, or existing drawings and produce clean, accurate CAD files, ranging from architectural floor plans to construction documents and as-built drawings.

Firms typically outsource this work when internal drafting capacity is limited during busy periods, or when a project needs a large volume of standard drawing sets produced quickly without pulling senior staff off design work.

How a typical engagement runs

Most engagements start with the outsourcing provider receiving source material, hand sketches, scanned drawings, or point cloud data, along with the firm's drafting standards and templates.

Drawings are then produced in batches, reviewed against the firm's standards, and revised before final delivery in the required CAD format.

• Floor plans and elevations from sketches or redlines
• Construction documents and detail sheets
• As-built drawings from field measurements or scans
• Delivery in the firm's required CAD format and standards
